"Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there." Josh Billings~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ben and Haley had gotten up in years, and their memories weren't quite what they used to be. They found it beneficial to write things down so as not to forget them.

One evening they were sitting in the parlor and Haley said, "Ben, be a dear and go to the kitchen and fix me a dish of ice cream and put some chocolate syrup and peanuts on it. And, Ben, write it down so you don't forget the peanuts."

"That's a good idea, Dear." Ben said, and wrote it on the notepad and headed for the kitchen.

Ben was in the kitchen for a while, and returned with a plate of bacon and eggs. Haley looked at it and said, "Oh Ben, you forgot the breakfast toast."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A man tells a doctor, "I think my wife's going deaf. What can I do?"

The doctor says, "Well, try to test her hearing. Stand some distance away from her and ask her a question. If she doesn't answer, move a little closer and ask again. Keep repeating this until she answers. That way we can see how bad the problem is."

The man goes home, sees his wife and says, "Hi honey, what's for dinner?" He doesn't hear an answer, so he moves closer. "Honey, what's for dinner?" He repeats this several times, until he's standing right next to her.

Finally, she answers, "For the sixth time, we're having Pot Roast!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the crowded elevator descended, Mrs. Wilson became increasingly furious with her husband, who was delighted to be pressed against a gorgeous blonde.

As the elevator stopped at the main floor, the blonde suddenly whirled, slapped Mr. Wilson, and said, "That will teach you to pinch!"

Bewildered, Mr. Wilson was halfway to the parking lot with his wife when he choked, "I...I...didn't pinch that girl."

"No you didn't" said his wife, consolingly. "I did."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An elderly man was headed home in his car one evening, swerving and weaving on the road, when he was stopped by a policeman. "Have you been drinking tonight, sir?" the policeman asked

. "Well, I may have had a pint or two." The man replied, smiling. "Why do you ask?"

Monday, Monday....Morning everyone. I am thinking if I don't post the night before I forget to during the day. Still immersed in pumpkins. Not hard to do but so time consuming. I also am thinking about lobbying for no more daylight savings time...don't like it at all. So glad you have found a new place, Midgie. here's looking to a swift move and no more bad landlords!! Evelyne, we have an older Lincoln and I love this car. I don't want a new one. She is white with wine colored leather seats and her name is Blanca. We have a somewhat newer Chevy PU and that is Jerry's baby. I named it BlueBoy. Did your car have a name? Or am I the only one ...? Maybe I don't want to know the answer to that. It is really past my bedtime, what with the time change so Good Night and Happy Monday ..let the Games begin.

Joe: that is soooo early, even with a "tampered" clock. Are they paying you enough for getting up in the middle of the night? May your working hours fly by and may your leisure time double in hours.

Yankee: I would definitely go to daughters Thanksgiving feast! That's such a nice occasion to be with family.I'am sure the neighbor will be kind to the pets! Have fun!

Nan: so glad your back is better now and that you could enjoy the pea-feast with your family. Take care of your back!

Looney and Soot: it sounds a very nice get together you are heading to. I hope daughter will find a hotel room with all the pets. Maybe she could rent a camper and park it in son's backyard? Just an idea....

Anna: Enjoy your dance tonight!

Lotus: no, I never gave a name to this car. Would be impossible to sell it if it was so personal. When I was young(er) I had a white Volvo with tomato red leather seats (almost like yours!) and I called it: snowhite. I was driving the Volvo until she almost fell to pieces and I had to bring her to the scrap dealer. Oh may that was a bad time for my poor soul...

Happy day to all of you. May the sun shine on your house and in your hearts

Evelyne

Good morning. Thanks Joe for opening again for us. Hi Ana Morning Darlene. How's your beautiful daughter doing? Morning Lotus. Hi Haroula, Sue, Evelyne, venus, Gail, and all who wander in today. I have an early shift today. Then home to pack, then back to work. That will be my days until I move. Exciting,huh?

What a yucky day it is. Rainy and cold. We need some sunshine. Anyone have any to spare?

Susie and Vince came over and we walked up to Ginny's. Susie brought a nice meal of barbequed pork steaks for her. She is so happy to be in her own house again.

Well, I think I am going to play something. Need to get back to Barrow Hill. Had just started it when we had to leave for Cabool. Great day for gaming, so I'm gonna go get some coffee, take a small peek at the walkthrough, then go play.

Midgie, when are you moving?

A great day to everyone.

Bets
